SF 1019 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Transportation sparsity revenue percent modification provision

This bill modifies how Minnesota school districts and charter schools calculate transportation funding adjustments. It changes the formula for "transportation sparsity revenue" by requiring districts to increase their adjustment by the greater of zero or 35-70% of the difference between their actual transportation costs and certain revenue components (like basic revenue and prior transportation aid). The change affects all independent, common, and special school districts, as well as charter schools, which receive the same per-pupil adjustment. The new calculation method applies to fiscal year 2026 and later funding.
